A Mathematical Model of Regenerative Axon Growing along Glial Scar after Spinal Cord Injury

<div>Axonal growth rate varied with size and shape of glial scars. (a) Histograms for the average drawing speed of the regenerating axons in different sizes and shapes of glial scars. (b) Time-history curves of the drawing speed of the regenerating axons. Data of one representative axon from each case was collected to plot the curve.</div>
